7 FCS Small Business Involvement Small Business is a critical element of the FCS Program One Team Partners are initiating Mentor Protégé projects to promote Small Business participation LSI has one project in place and one in work Ongoing FCS presence at numerous conferences, symposia, and science & technology demonstrations Supplier Showcase Technology forum for current & potential suppliers to present capabilities to the LSI & One Team Partners sponsored by DART Over 400 Small Businesses currently supporting FCS and the number is increasing 7

8 What Small Businesses are doing on FCS irobot is a Tier One Supplier to the LSI Mission: Provide extended reconnaissance of MOUT and subterranean battlespace/network node Armament: Non-Lethal specific to MOUT Gross Weight: 30 lbs. Sensors: EO/IR, Seismic, Acoustic, Target designation, NBC Legend: Platform Unique Subsystem Complementary Program Subsystem Common Distributed Subsystem The irobot pre-prototype Small Unmanned Ground Vehicle (SUGV) was exhibited at the AUSA show (Oct. 9-11). In addition to being on static display, it demonstrated its mobility (over small rubble objects/debris), stair climbing ability (climbing up and down stairs), and ability to look around corners without exposing itself to potential hostile fire. This demo was unscripted and intended to provide a general capabilities presentation of this new pre-prototype part of the FCS Brigade Combat team. The SUGV provides an extension of the soldier in high risk reconnaissance operations 8

9 What Small Businesses are doing on FCS Overwatch Systems is a Tier One Supplier to the LSI for Situation Understanding Tier Two Supplier for Battle Command Mission Execution, Planning & Prep and Level 1 Fusion Responsible for portraying the friendly and enemy forces on the Common Operating Picture (COP) Semi-autonomous Level 1 4 Fusion software will reduce the warfighter s workload COP will help the warfighter achieve the Quality of Firsts 9
